I’d been using MyFitnessPal for about 6 months up until April this year but found it lacking in several areas, and when I saw a 2 week trial for MacroFactor I decided to give it a go. I’ve been using it ever since. A significant improvement over MFP. There’s a small learning curve to get used to it but once you do it’s a dream to use - very intuitive and well designed. Did you know you can touch the word Today in the Food Log tab and immediately jump to any day in your history? I’m making use of the coached program (Strategy tab) where it adjusts your recommended calorie intake to match your weight goal. I’ve lost 5 kgs in the 5 months I’ve been using it by adhering to the recommendations as closely as possible without getting too pedantic about it. The dashboard is excellent, the food log well laid out, and I love that you can configure it to suit your particular usage habits. I highly recommend users play around with the Feature Settings (under the More tab) to see what works best for you. Oh, and the developers are super responsive to feedback (More → Contact Us). Give it a try, once you get the hang of it I’m sure you’ll like it too.

I’ve been using this apps for over a year now and love it, I have been cooking most things myself so the logging is easy. The recently added localization of Japan means barcodes from the convenience store scan straight in, whilst approximations of food I may eat out feel appropriate and have many more selectable options. Outside of that, I love the weight trends and the insights that gives me, and, the auto macro adjustments have kept my progress on track. Well done team, 5 star app, backed by 5 stars knowledge.

I changed from MyFitnessPal to this App because of Jeff’s video yet the user experience has some room for improvement. 1. The database is nowhere near MyFitnessPal. Not sure how US or Canada users feel like, yet here in Japan, I literally can’t log anything using barcode yet MyFitnessPal does not have such problems 2. UI is a bit complex in terms of logging food. 3. AI function does not meet the demand as database is not as complete as MyFitnessPal. Overall, I switched back to the previous App but look forward to some major updates for overseas users.

食生活の数値化を習慣化できるのが大きいです。客観的な数字に沿って進められるので、減量の増量も気分の波で生活がブレにくくなります。成果が出るか不安になりやすい人に良いかもしれません。ユーザー側で必要なのは、体重と食事の記録を入力することですね。入力に必要なステップ数が少なくなるように設計されているので、他のアプリと比べると手早く済みます。アプリの機能面では、体重の波を取り除いて表示してくれるとか、個人の代謝に合わせたPFC設定を出してくれるとか、かなり高度な処理をしてくれます。これはプロのダイエット指導者が考えることに近いです。ユーザー側は必要な情報を入力するだけで済むので、その手間に対してアプリから得られる情報の質が高いと思いますね。個人的には、ビタミン、ミネラル、脂肪酸の種類、食物繊維といった項目を数値化できることに価値を感じています。このアプリは体組成改善の機能が非常に強いですが、もう一歩踏み込んで健康管理のために使うことも可能です。長期プランなら1ヶ月あたり数百円なので、使い続けたいと思っています。
